He undoubtedly touched countless lives with his warmth and genuine ability to connect with others. In 1969, John enlisted in The United States Army where he served as a medic in the Vietnam War from January 1969 to May 1971.

John found much joy in traveling and nature; often spending his days outdoors, camping, fishing, and kayaking across much of the United States. Much of his youth was spent on the banks of the Wabash River in Indiana. He also enjoyed the simple things in life; playing cards, watching reality TV, creating art, and spending time with his family and pets. Many would recognize him later on in life by his tie dye prosthetic legs; which he received a lot of attention over.
